Sub Zero
by Matt James
Oh my goodness, the writing is ridiculously bad.
Bad grammar, odd changes in tense, endless waffling without relevance to the action taking place, logical errors in the plotting, unrealistic characters, repetition… Where was the editor? Or a beta reader?
I am willing to overlook a lot in my popcorn creature features, but I can‘t read this, sorry! DNF at 21%. Yikes.
P.S.: I would be happy for recommendations of some entertaining light horror, set underwater. I have an obsession with caves, diving, etc….
Ouch! Do you have a list of good ones? I want to read more underwater horror type things and have no real idea where to start. Sphere is the closest I can think of. About to read yer shark week review.

I don‘t have a list written down. I tagged some of them with „underwater“… Starfish was a good one, sort of biopunk… https://cathysreadingbonanza.wordpress.com/2018/07/27/twisted-starfish/

THis one I only gave 2 stars, but it did have very interesting world building — more SF than horror — https://cathysreadingbonanza.wordpress.com/2017/09/25/under-the-deep-blue-sea/

The Luminous Dead is a caving thriller. I liked it. Some thought it too long, whatever. You can read the GR reviews. But all the 2 star are wrong.

I added that to my TBR a year ago and people keep recommending it, I guess I should really get it…
